Our Summer Solstice day started with copious amounts of rain. With how torrential the rain was and how long it lasted we were pretty sure that our plans to celebrate Summer Solstice were going to have to be put on hold. You can imagine then how surprised we were when the rain stopped, the sky cleared, the sun came out and our evening celebration was able to go off without a hitch! We packed a picnic dinner and joined our dear friends the Faddens for the Summer Solstice Celebration that was taking place at the Old Manse in Concord as part of Riverfest 2015. Crafts, music, s'mores, playing, singing, lanterns and boats on the river on a gorgeous night made for a truly lovely ending to our Summer Solstice! xo
Looks like a fantastic evening!! The last time we were there it was the dead of winter and I have a photo of Russ and Alice stood in front of that statue with a ton of snow and ice around them! And that river was frozen solid. :) We definitely have to get back there and see the summer version!
ReplyDeleteYes, you must! They were giving tours of the Old Manse but we were having such fun outside that we never made it in! Just means we'll have to head back another time soon! xo
DeleteHappy Summer Solstice!!! So glad that weather cleared and you could celebrate as you had planned. Looks like it was a a wonderful celebration.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kim! I'm so glad that the weather cleared too as it was such a lovely way to celebrate the start of summer! I loved your celebration as well! I truly need to make those sun banners! xo
